Looking at tight polls on a variety of fronts, you can easily make the case for Bizarro election results in Colorado.

Wednesday could dawn with news that President Barack Obama has been re-elected, that Colorado has legalized marijuana and that, with Democrats winning control of the state House, civil unions and reduced tuition for children of illegal immigrants aren't far off.

Just as easily, we could wake up to learn that Mitt Romney will be sworn in as the nation's 45th president on Jan. 20, that marijuana remains illegal in Colorado (and that Romney's Justice Department will very likely take a harder stance on medical marijuana), and that Republicans not only held onto the state House, but gained control of the state Senate as well.
